Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to verify the mediating effect of peer relations and self-esteem in the relationship between the effects of deficiency of children using local children's centers on school life adaptation. The survey subjects were selected from 424 students in the first year of middle school who were used the local children's center, and analyzed using data from the 4th of the local children's center. Summarizing the analysis results, peer relationships were found to have a complete mediating effect in the relationship between deficiency and school life adaptation. Second, it was verified that self-esteem has a partial mediating effect in the relationship between deficiency and school life adaptation. Children using local children's centers experience deficiencies in various areas of society, but as can be seen from the results of this study, it was suggested that they can help adapt to school life by promoting self-esteem and peer relationships. Therefore, we would like to propose the development of programs and practical implications for promoting children's adaptation to school life, and the expansion of the field of children's research using local children's centers.

본 논문은 지역아동센터 이용 아동의 결핍이 학교생활적응에 미치는 영향 간의 관계에서 또래관계와 자아존중감의 매개효과를 검증하는 데 목적이 있다. 지역아동센터를 이용하고 있는 중학교 1학년에 재학중인 424명을 조사대상자로 선정하고 지역아동센터 4차년도 데이터를 활용하여 빈도, 기술통계, 상관관계 및 경로 분석을 하였다. 분석결과를 요약하면 또래관계는 결핍과 학교생활적응 간의 관계에서 완전매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 자아존중감은 결핍과 학교생활적응 간의 관계에서 부분매개효과가 있는 것으로 검증되었다. 지역아동센터 이용 아동은 사회의 다양한 영역에서 결핍을 경험하고 있지만 본 연구 결과에서 볼 수 있듯이 또래관계와 자아존중감을 증진함으로써 학교생활적응에 도움을 줄 수 있음을 제시하였다. 이에 아동의 학교생활적응 도모를 위한 프로그램 개발 및 실천적 함의를 제시하고, 지역아동센터 이용 아동 연구 분야 확장을 제안코자 한다.
